Information Cycles

Making
Sense of Information

We take in so much information in so many different forms every day, it's
hard to make sense of it all. In extreme cases, we may even experience
"information overload."

So, it's important to understand that information is produced and distributed
according to general patterns, often referred to as "Information
Cycles." It's not an exact science; but a skilled researcher
who understands these patterns and knows which types of information sources
are most appropriate for any given project is likely to achieve consistent
success in finding what they need.
